As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported earlier this week, Foster was forced off the card due to a brain hemorrhage that his pre-fight MRI revealed. Marc Fiore, who trains Foster at the H.I.T. Squad, said that while his fighter is OK, he is required to undergo another MRI in six weeks to assure no permanent damage is present.

Ellenberger accepted the bout soon after the Foster news broke.
